It will be good to see the last of the Great Urban Myth. An airplane that the government and general public thought was so capable that it didn't need the funding to provide the necessary add ons and extras to go to war with. Or an aeroplane supposedly still so capable it sends shivers through our near-north adversaries. Or an aeroplane so advanced evolutionary, that despite having a monster radar signature, it could still go on upgraded forever in an age of stealth.
Our new bombers ( Super Hornets ) now seem more down to earth so to speak. Yes they need tankers. Yes they need the latest electronic warfare equipment. And yes they will be able to go to war.
